    Give it a try! What do you have to lose? What if people don't buy them? You have your freezer stocked. What if you sell out and start taking orders? What if you are the gluten free "betty crocker" the world has been waiting for? I would buy some. I think Gillians says you can keep in the freezer for 4 months. (By the way the lump o dough was pretty...

    ARCHIVED Did She Get Over It?

    mommida replied to Roda's topic in Doctors

    Not that anyone should have Celiac Disease wished on them. Good to let your niece know the proper tests that should be ordered. She should know that celiac disease can hit at any stage of life and if she is negative now that may not be true for 30 years down the road. If she is positive then she has the knowledge to live a healthy life. Knowing how...

    You are right, it is hard! Especially in the beginning. Your head is swimming trying to find information and there is a panic "what are we going to eat!!?" You are in luck! We have some old pros around that can help you find replacements for favorite snacks, and offer taste test testimonials. We have people who have many diet restrictions. Start finding...

    How many allergens is the recipe ommitting? Was there any type of milk? (rice milk) Adding lemon juice or vinegar to the milk can turn it more like a buttermilk texture. or It may be used to replace an egg by adding vinegar to baking powder.

    ARCHIVED Bruising

    Hey Loey, The haunted hotel thing sounds pretty cool. Post and tell us about your experience.

    We love the cheesy hashbrowns! There is the chicken fried rice too. It's not really for us, as my daughter can't have eggs. We have tried it without adding the eggs but the flavor is overwhelming if you don't add more plain rice to it. I'm so glad that there is something safe to eat that is quick and convenient. Mainstream and even can use a...

    The on line retailer "that shall not be named" is having a sale on gluten free products this month. (October 2010) Buying in bulk can get you FREE super saver shipping. Some products are shipped out by smaller independent "stores" and never seem to be a good price. So, as always do your homework and see where the deals are.

    Are you sure that you weren't given a generic version of the antibiotic? In the begining of gluten free life, we must have had a contaminated bottle of vanilla. It was driving me crazy trying to find out where the cross contamination was coming from. I went over every ingredient for every recipe and had to note which pot or pan was used for what we were...

    My daughter was diagnosed with probable celiac disease when she was about 17 months old and then with eosinophilic esophagitus when she was 6. (I you research this, don't panic. We are managing it very well with diet restriction of "trigger" foods. Most cases of EE are diagnosed from a "flare up" of symptoms in August, September. There is a possible link...

    It has also been suggested that my daughter's ongoing headaches and abdominal pain is due to abdominal migraine. I'm not sure how confidant I feel in the medical diagnoses of abdominal migraine. You would be referred to a nuerologist for further testing. Tracking symptoms in a food journal, can take up to two weeks after the "trigger" food. i.e. an eosinophil...

    My daughter was diagnosed with "probable" celiac when she was 17 months old. Everything was fine until she was six and it seemed just like glutening symptoms. Exceopt it was getting worse and worse until she was vommiting about 5/6 times a day. She was also getting bad headaches and her breath was smelling bad. (kind of smelled like puss) Her tonsils...

    I would go to get some of the kitchen gadgets. I love kitchen gadgets! Eating is not the main purpose of these parties it is showing the convenience of the products. Since going gluten free I do so much more cooking and baking at home. I do feel I deserve to have some "convenience tools". I do like that odd two ended roller thing for spreading out...

    Hi Talia, Can you share your bread recipe? I have been buying ener-g and the cost is killing me.

    Hi Jason, I did notice you went AWOL for a while! It was after some girlfriend posts so I was thinkin' good for you. WINK Well this is the third year in a row that my daughter started going down hill quick. She is going to be 8 in about 2 weeks and was diagnosed with Eosinophilic Esophagitus when she was 6. When the air here starts getting dry and the...

    Call the hall and ask if they have a gluten free meal available. They will tell you if they can provide a gluten free meal and who will be your room host. You may have to make another call the day of the event and remind them about the gluten free meal. When you get to the hall, go directly to the room host and let them know you are the gluten free person...

    Well I would expect the blood test. Be prepared to share his symptoms, growth chart, and any type of food journal with the symptoms afterward. You will now have to go with the doctor's "usual suspects" list and what type of testing can rule these things in or out. You may go home with a stool sampling test kit. (The things we do for our kids!) To really...

    You will have to decide about oats. Most oats processed in the US are considered too cross contaminated to be safe. Now if you find certified gluten free oats you may be sensitive to oats as they protein chain is not that different from gluten's protein chain. Your body may react to oats. If you are going to try oats, go slowly. Make sure you are...

    You might like The Allergen_Free Baker's Handbook by Cybele Pascal. You will have to skip some of the recipes or find substitutions for Ener-g egg replacer, some oat recipes, only a few with corn. I have been very happy with the things I have made so far. Clear instructions for the recipes.

    Well I was told to put my daughter back on wheat for the blood test when she was about 16 months old. I didn't feel right about it argued with the doctor even. I did put her back on wheat to have her end up being hospitalized for dehydration from the "D" and vomitting. You have a very hard decision to make. At least be warned that a gluten challenge is...

    I'm going to try and suggest a whole family solution. Hopefully some bonding while the kids learn lifeskills. You said your son is 8. Assuming you don't want him living in your basement when he is 40, he might go off to college or just move out someday. Depending on his birthday, you only have about 10 years to teach him how to cook and bake gluten free...

    I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

    ARCHIVED Narcolepsy

    mommida replied to eeyore's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    There was a recent article (possibly a year ago) that narcolepsy is auto-immune.

    Find a new doctor. She will have to go through more tests, but you need to find out what is wrong. At the very least amount of care she should have been tested for food allergies or put on an elimination diet. It does seem that Celiacs can have more sensitivites to foods.

    Kinniknick (spelling?) is a gluten free company. Employees are asked not to bring any gluten foods to the facility for lunch. Start checking all the gluten free products you enjoy for locations. There has been such a growth in this market. I'm waiting for all the merging, which I have noticed over the years. As soon as I can I will be buying stock in...

    In the metro Detroit area, it usually is a 3 month wait for an appointment with a ped. gastro. (The quickest we have been bumped up has been 3 weeks and my daughter has been a patient since she was about 10 months old.) That was still about the wait time after my daughter was released from the hospital after vomitting fresh blood. (She was later diagnosed...
